The administration’s last-minute push to turn out the vote is spurring some unconventional media outreach efforts. But none of them have been quite as unlikely as that announced on Monday — President Obama will be doing an interview with Ryan Seacrest. The “American Idol” co-host will be talking to Obama on Election Day for a segment on his radio show, ‘On Air with Ryan Seacrest.’ And in a Facebook post, he put out a solicitation for questions.

Has the President actually listened to Seacrest’s radio show? I have but a passing familiarity with it, and ZOMGosh! I totally hope that Seacrest asks Obama what he thinks of that one time Taylor Swift dated that guy from Twilight and then wrote a song about it! I regularly scoff at the perennial claims that the youth vote is taking its political responsibility seriously, and even I don’t think they’re going to be impressed by such brazen pandering.
